Class 2 2026 - 2027

 Welcome to Class 2 (Year 3 & 4) 2026

Welcome to Class 2's page.  Here you will find all our current 'goings on'- including examples of our work, our half termly overviews, any competitions we have attended and more.

I am Mrs Wood and I am very excited to be joining Sharneyford to teach Class 2 which is filled with our wonderful year 3 and 4 children.  Working alongside me to support the children in their learning and in their day-to-day school life, is Mrs Handley, one of our amazing teaching assistants.  

Routines

PE & Swimming

Class 2 will have PE every Friday afternoon and therefore it is important for all of our children to have their full PE kit ready and available and that for these days, jewellery should be kept to a minimum so that it can be easily removed for sessions. Additionally, we will attend swimming lessons every Thursday PM at Marl Pits (with the exception of Autumn 2). For this, children will need to bring their swimming kit to school, preferably in a drawstring bag so that potential loss of kit is minimized (swimsuit/swim shorts, a towel and a swim cap for children who have hair that may fall into their eyes). Girls must not wear bikini type outfits and boys should take care to make sure that their swimming attire isn't too loose. 

We understand that Physical activity can have a useful role to play in promoting personal mental health.  To assist this further we have a Wellness club, lead by our amazing, qualified, Mental Health Champions.  They will run the Wellness club, planning various activities, each Friday lunch time once the planning phase has taken place.

Reading

We strive to create a love of reading in class 2! There will be many opportunities to read together as a class to build our word reading fluency and comprehension skills. Additionally, I look forward to reading our class text at the end of the day for enjoyment and to encourage children to grow a love for story books. We will strive to give regular opportunities for 1:1 reading with children who we feel will benefit from a little extra support and practise. As well as this, we would love for children to bring their love of reading into their home life. To encourage this, children will bring home a reading record and a reading book that is pitched to their level of word reading fluency. This should be brought to school every day. They also have the opportunity to select a book to read for enjoyment from our school library! In their reading records, children are expected to record the title of the book and to log the page number they are up to. Support and encouragement with developing these organisation skills and routine is greatly appreciated.

Remember: Reading sessions at home will earn children class dojos!

Last but not least, Class 2 run an 'open door' policy and as it is of utmost importance that your child feels safe and secure in their learning; we encourage an open and honest dialogue with parents - so feel free to ask to pop in after school for a chat.
